There are few things that get people excited like a passionate performance of the Star-Spangled Banner.
Just ask anyone who watched Jackson Dean Nicholson, a senior at Arundel High School in Maryland, a few years ago.
We’re not talking about his performance on the football field, but his pre-game singing of the national anthem. He wowed the home crowd and thousands of people online.
According to reports, Nicholson realized no one else was ready to sing the national anthem before his school’s game. He could have let the school play a recording or let the crowd sing themselves.
But Nicholson did something different. Before the game started, he stood alone on the field with just an acoustic guitar and a microphone and sang the national anthem.
He quickly delivered one of the best versions of the U.S. national anthem we’ve ever heard. It’s no surprise that the video became a viral hit and has resurfaced in popularity time and time again.
The video was first uploaded in 2018, and the fact that it’s still impressive now shows just how well Nicholson can sing.
“It was very cool. I probably knew 90 percent of the people sitting in those stands, and they had no idea I was doing it until I brought my guitar out,” Nicholson told the Baltimore Sun at the time.
While he was playing as a senior defensive end during his five minutes of fame, music is Nicholson’s true passion. He has been writing and singing songs since he was a freshman and was working on his own album around the same time he went viral.
Since there’s already a famous actor named Jack Nicholson, he chose the stage name Jackson Dean.
Talking about his football career in 2018, Jackson said: “This is my last year, then I’m done. I’ve got until January, I’ll have all my credits done, and I only have to be enrolled for this semester. I got a waiver from my principal and she’s very supportive of what I do. I’m going to go for it.”
Good luck, Jackson!
We can’t get over how amazing Jackson’s performance was, and we want as many people as possible to see it.

Ryan Reynolds reveals name of his fourth child with wife Blake Lively
At Deadpool & Wolverine’s New York City premiere, Ryan Reynolds disclosed the name of his youngest kid, whom he shares with Blake Lively.
He addressed the assembly, stating, “I want to start by saying thank you to my wife, Blake, who is here.” “I’d want to thank my present children, Olin, Betty, Inez, and James. I hope that, if my luck is right, this will be the most traumatizing event of your amazing life—that is, the stuff in this movie.
“It’s great that my whole family is here.”
The daughters of Reynolds, 47, and Lively, 36, are Betty, 4, Inez, 7, and James, 9. Just five months after it was reported the former Gossip Girl was expecting, the couple welcomed their fourth child in February of last year.

“Everyone is doing fantastic. Everyone is doing incredibly well. We would be in serious trouble if we hadn’t found it out by now.
Reynolds withheld the name and gender of their child at the time.
The Deadpool actor claimed that the pair had a custom of holding off on finding out their child’s sex until after they were born.
He said to Today, “We never find out until (the baby is) born.” “Girls, I know them. Therefore, while I’m prepared for whatever occurs, I’m kind of hoping for that.
